Important match for both teams

The performance of Sunrisers Hyderabad, playing under the captaincy of Ishan Kishan, has been mixed this season. The team has so far won 2 out of 5 matches and currently stands at fifth position. However, the spectacular win of 57 runs against Rajasthan Royals in the last match has greatly increased the confidence of the team and the players have come on the field with full enthusiasm.

CSK trying to make a comeback
